In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl, with a bare head and barefoot roamed through the streets. When she left the house she must have been wearing slippers; but what did that help? The little creature had lost them when she rushed across the street, because of two carriages running by, at a terribly high speed. One slipper could not be found again, and the other a boy had picked and ran away with it. So now the little girl was walking barefoot, her feet were now red and blue from the cold. In an old apron she carried a whole supply of matchboxes, one of which she held in her hand. No one had bought one from her all day, no one had even given her alms.	Learn
